A compound containing a !CHO group

A solid that lacks a regular three-dimensional arrangement of atoms or molecules. (11.7)

An axis about which a compound possesses rotational symmetry.

A liquid mixture of constant composition with a boiling point that is different from that of any of its components.

The cyclic hemiacetal of an aldose, in which the hydroxyl group at the anomeric position is cis to the CH2OH group.

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external atmospheric pressure. (11.8)

A strong attractive force that exists between atoms in a molecule. (Section 8.1)

The conversion of a thioacetal into an alkane in the presence of Raney nickel.

For alkenes, a stereodescriptorthat indicates that the two priority groups are on opposite sides of the p bond.

The equilibrium established between reactant and product substances that are all in the same phase. (Section 15.4)

Element in which the 4f subshell is only partially occupied. (Sections 6.8 and 6.9)

A compound capable offunctioning as an electron pair donor.

The main fabricof cell membranes, assembled primarily fromphosphoglycerides.

Bonding, usually in solid metals, in which the bonding electrons are relatively free to move throughout the three-dimensional structure. (Section 8.1)

Model of the atom with a nucleus containing protons and neutrons and with electrons in the space outside the nucleus. (Section 2.2)

An allowed energy state of an electron in the quantum mechanical model of the atom; the term orbital is also used to describe the spatial distribution of the electron. An orbital is defined by the values of three quantum numbers: n, l, and ml (Section 6.5)

A starting substance in a chemical reaction; it appears to the left of the arrow in a chemical equation. (Section 3.1)

The substance that is oxidized and thereby causes the reduction of some other substance in an oxidation–reduction reaction. (Section 20.1)

A hybrid atomic orbital formed by the combination of one s atomic orbital and three 2p atomic orbitals.
